Nickel has four oxidation states: Ni(I), Ni(II), Ni(III), and Ni(IV).

Selenium is a group 6 non-metal...so it's oxidation state is -2.

Therefore, you can have four possible formulas for nickel selenide:

Ni2Se, NiSe, Ni2Se3, and NiSe2.

However, the three most commonly found are:

NiSe, Ni2Se3, and NiSe2.
