It looks like an 'Indie World' Showcase announcement might have been leaked ahead of schedule.
A Twitter user by the name of itssimontime was poking around the Switch eShop and discovered update data for the unique time-bending first-person shooter Superhot - which isn't even available on the Switch yet.
Here are the findings:
Last May, Superhot director Piotr Iwanicki said a Switch port of Superhot was actively being considered but had nothing else to share at the time:
There are plans. It should be there.
There's a conflict with me because I'm the guy who will just say everything up front but the plans are there and we've done some preliminary work on it. It still has no date or anything. But I think it should happen. The Switch is a cool platform and it's an innovative platform. [Nintendo] rediscovered something that was already there. Nintendo is good with their stuff. Superhot would fit there well.
Superhot started out on the PC and has gone on to become one of the most popular VR titles. For a better idea of what this game is about, take a look at the launch trailer below:

This is amazing be game, but unless we get a better version set that actually allow you to use joycon motion control, how will it work?
Whether or not I buy this will 100% depend on whether or not they implemented gyro controls.
So no Rare Replay?? I was really looking forward to playing Perfect Dark.
I wonder how this will control. Either way, I would like to try this game out if the rumors are true.
Having played this quite a bit in Oculus, without VR you are missing so much with this game.
@Tantani
Its on the Xbox One/PS4 with regular controls, so the Switch version will probably be the same.
Superhot is a really good game. I already have the VR version on the Oculus Quest so I wouldn't buy it on the Switch, but if they include gyro controls it could be the next best thing.
Love it in vr. Not sure I'd like it as much without it.
I got both the VR and standard versions on PS4, the VR version definitely expands upon the concept and you can tell how the game was designed for it, but that said I think it's easier to play without it simply because you don't have to setup VR.
I already own it on PS4 and PC. Don't need to buy it again 😋
I think they will add LABO VR support for this one, it will make you puke in slow motion.
Yeah I agree with the motion controls being the deciding factor. Otherwise it wouldn’t present any advantage over the cheaper versions on PC or PS4
If they dont implement gyro control with this one they are missing a trick big time. This would be amazing.
Ah Nintendo and your shadow drops. Nothing makes me more happy than the words "And it's available after this presentation".
It's currently on sale on the PlayStation Store, and I was planning on getting it, but now I might just wait for this instead.
John Wick simulator? Take my money...
Great game, even though the dreadful story does kinda drag it down a bit. If this runs smoothly it might be worth double dipping when it goes on sale.
Played this on Xbox and it’s great think it would be a good fit for switch the graphics always remind me of cosmic smash and Rez they should both be on switch as well
VR is undoubtedly the superior experience but the original Superhot is still a great game.
Great game, and a must-buy for people who'd like to try a different take on the fps genre. I'd say that this could very well be labeled as "the thinking man's fps".
Found the PC version on clearance at Walmart once for like $8 (or was it 5...?)
Why didn't I get it!?!?
Hm... I think this is actually one of the few games I'd get on PS4 (and still plan to) over a Switch version. VR seems much more tempting in this case.
@Tantani Same way it works on PC, Xbox, and ps4?
I hope it works with Labo VR
I’ve been waiting for this for so long.
@Nintendo_Thumb I'd buy the VR for this
@Gs69 I gotta respect somebody who knows Cosmic Smash. Loved that game on the Dreamcast.
Would be a perfect fit as a downloadable title on the Switch.
@HumanDog it would it’s a great game would be great on switch and Capcom should do something about cannon spike would love to see it on the eshop
@nintendolie Que the Hawkeye-saying-"Don't do that. Don't give me hope"-meme.
As 500 others have noted, please have gyro/motion controls...
I played the VR version of this on a stag do - really interesting game. Would be cool if there was Labo support, I'd be really tempted by that. Probs time to buy that knock-off Labo VR headstrap..
It’s on the eShop (US) right now!
you know the one thing that I annoys me of this game, is the fact that people are saying SUPER HOT over and over again. (I think think the lab boys are getting into the craze to).
