Nintendo console titles are identified by a 6 character identifier known as a GameID.

GameIDs have 4 significant sub-sections:

System Code (character 1): Identifies the console the title is for (i.e. GameCube, Wii, Virtual Console systems). Further details available at WiiBrew.
Title Code (characters 2-3): Identifies the title.
Region Code(character 4): Identifies the region the title is released in. Further details available at WiiBrew.
Publisher Code (characters 5-6): Identifies the publisher, though there may be regional variations (e.g. Electronic Arts is 69 in EU/NA, but is sometimes identified as 13 in JP).
