The nanr file extension is associated with Nintendo's Nitro resource formats for the Nintendo DS, a handheld video game console released in 2004 and discontinued in 2007.
A nanr file stores animation resource data for Nintendo DS games. It is normally one component of a game's collection of Nitro resources and is used together with other game assets.
The format is a legacy resource format tied to Nintendo DS software rather than a general-purpose animation format. The Windows utility tinke can inspect Nintendo DS game resources, including nanr files.
Use tinke on Microsoft Windows to inspect a nanr file. The file is commonly found inside Nintendo DS game resources, so it may need to be extracted from a game archive or ROM before it can be opened.
The nanr format is intended for Nintendo DS game resources and has no widely supported conversion to a standard animation format. tinke can inspect the resource and may allow it to be extracted, but it is not a general-purpose animation converter.
