Will Nintendo allow mods?

I don't think so, for a couple of reasons.

First is related to hardware. Alterations would have to made to the entire framework and I do not believe Bethesda would do that. In addition, that would put a much greater burden on modders and you'd see very few mods ported over if it's very different. Remember that mods are made by PC gamers, some of whom aren't even interested in porting to Xbox, much less a Nintendo handheld.

Second, Nintendo is known to be conservative, especially when dealing with western developers. If the above issues are worked out, I still imagine Nintendo would go the Sony route for fear of illegal, damaging, or inappropriate mods showing up.
