Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a survival horror game developed by Koei Tecmo Games. It was originally released in Japan for the Wii U in 2014. The game later received an international release, including for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC (via Steam), in 2021. The Switch version being in NSP format likely refers to a digital copy of the game for the Nintendo Switch, possibly indicating a version intended for the Nintendo eShop or similar digital distribution channels.
