It appears as though Superhot is getting a stealth launch on Nintendo Switch, perhaps in two days.
A dataminer noticed an update for the game — it hasn’t been announced yet — was uploaded on Friday, and an industry analyst hinted that it will be announced during Monday morning’s Nintendo Direct.

That was followed by this from analyst Daniel Ahmad.
Two games will be shadow dropped. Both games are Hot.

We'll also get solid 2019 release dates for Creature in the Well, Blasphemous, Northgard, Trine 4, One Finger Death Punch 2, Skellboy and a few others.
2019 and 2020 release windows for other games.
Worth a watch.
Industry watcher Nibel also chimed in:

Superhot originally launched on PC in early 2016, later making its way to Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The genre-defying indie hit is mostly first-person shooter, but also substantially a puzzle game and perhaps even a strategy game. In any event, time only moves when the player does, which allows them to plot out John Wick-esque chained takedowns and eliminations of a room full of stylized bad guys.
Monday’s Nintendo Direct is at 9 a.m. EDT, and Nintendo said it will be another indie-focused showcase.
The next level of puzzles.
Take a break from your day by playing a puzzle or two! We’ve got SpellTower, Typeshift, crosswords, and more.
