When a fan asked Yuji Naka on Twitter about the pronunciation of Hydocity and Naka replied he believed it was Hydro-City, it led to something interesting. Naka noted how popular the tweet was and was surprised and compared it to another tweet he made. Naka had tweeted that he had analyzed the NES hardware back in the day and made a game for the system that was never released.
I was surprised that a tweet like this received over10000 likes. At the same time,I tweeted that I once analyzed the hardware of the NES and made a game software for the NES, but I didn't get many likes. I hope that one day this NES software will be available for everyone to play https://t.co/ckHwMb6bJR

Naka then noted that this is not an indie game and is a complete NES title. Naka wants to release it for fans to play but needs to get permission from multiple companies before that can happen. Naka then noted that it is an older style game and so is more challenging than some may be used to.
This NES game software is not an indie game. It is a complete NES game. I have to get permission from several companies in order for you to play it. I am sure it will be difficult for you to play it, but time will tell, I hope. It's an old game, so it's very challenging.
