Black Out

About

Black Out is a lost shooter platformer that was meant for the Super Nintendo Mouse. A prototype surfaced in the 2020 Gigaleak under the name Sleep, showing a sleepwalker dodging obstacles while firing at incoming projectiles. The game relies entirely on mouse or Super Scope input and runs without any sound. It uses assets that look very similar to those found in other leaked titles like Super Donkey and Yoshi's Island. What makes this project stand out is how it fits into Nintendo's strange history of unfinished experiments. The original name appears on a leaflet included with Mario Paint, yet the actual code was hidden away for years. There is no community rating since the game never reached players, but the fact that fans managed to uncover and play a functional prototype is impressive. This title sits alongside other cancelled projects like Super Scope 15 in the leak data, showing how many games Nintendo built but never shipped.
