Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch is available for $60 on the Eshop or at any of your favorite game stores.

This is the price the game has to pay for portability, so if being able to play Skyrim on the go is your top priority, you’ll surely find Skyrim for the Switch impressive enough. It is unknown whether mods will ever be supported on the Switch but it is highly unlikely, even though it's Xbox One and PS4 counterparts had a somewhat limited mod support. Skyrim for Nintendo Switch includes all-new gameplay features like motion controls for combat and lockpicking, outfits and gear from The Legend of Zelda.

Check out the complete test made by Polygon here. For example, while the Switch is docked in your TV, the game operates at a native resolution of 1600 x 900 however, when you switch to the handheld mode, the game scales down to a 896 x 720 which is 70 percent of the native pixel count. Skyrim on the Switch is awesome and is a good way to encourage other third parties to develop for the Switch (check out our review of Doom for the Switch). However, due to the limitations of the hardware, compromises have to be made.
