Nintendo console titles are identified by a 6 character identifier known as a GameID. There are 4 significant subsets in each GameID:
| Subset #
|
Offset
|
Meaning
|
| 1
|
X_____
|
#System Code (1 character) – Identifies the system the title is for.
|
| 2
|
_XX___
|
Title Code (2 characters) – Identifies the title.
|
| 3
|
___X__
|
#Region Code (1 character) – Identifies the region the title is released in.
|
| 4
|
____XX
|
#Publisher Code (2 characters) – Identifies the publisher.
|
Those without publisher codes either are Virtual Console titles, or are self-published via the Wii U Store. Note: this listing may be inaccurate. Verification sources are required (aside from Dolphin's GameIDs page, which this is almost an exact copy of).
