-2 Dlc- -4-... Work - Animal Crossing- New Horizons -nsp-
Based on the file naming convention you provided (NSP, DLC, and the numbering), this refers to a Nintendo Switch game file (specifically a dumped or downloaded ROM), not an academic paper.
If you are looking for the official digital manual or documentation for the game, or if you need to cite the game itself, here is the information:
3. Academic Citation (How to cite the game in a paper)
If you are writing a research paper and need to cite Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a source, use the following format:
APA Style:
Nintendo. (2020). Animal crossing: New horizons [Nintendo Switch]. Nintendo.
MLA Style:
Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Nintendo, 2020. Animal Crossing- New Horizons -NSP- -2 DLC- -4-...
Chicago Style:
Nintendo. Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Nintendo Switch. Kyoto: Nintendo, 2020.
3.2 The Missing “-4-” Possibilities
Your truncated keyword could also mean:
- 4-player local co-op (supported since launch)
- 4-star island rating requirement for certain unlocks
- 4th row of custom designs (added in 2.0)
- 4 new seasonal events (added across 2021)
But given the context of “NSP” and “2 DLC,” version 2.0.4 is the most logical match.
2. Official Documentation (The "Paper" Manual)
Nintendo no longer prints physical paper manuals. The "manual" for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is built into the game itself.
- In-Game Manual: While playing, press the Home Button, go to Album/Screenshots, or often the manual is accessible via the "Options" or "Help" section within the game settings on the title screen.

2.3 The “-2 DLC-” Clarification
The keyword’s “-2 DLC-” likely means: Based on the file naming convention you provided
- Version 2.0 Update (treated as a free DLC)
- Happy Home Paradise (paid DLC)
There is no “DLC 3” or “DLC 4”. The final version is 2.0.4 (and 2.0.5 for minor bug fixes, but 2.0.4 is the last major feature-locked update).
