I highly doubt Nintendo even bothered requesting Fallout 4 since it will have been out for a year and a half by the time the Switch hits. Skyrim Special Edition also has the advantage of being a remaster that most will be playing to revisit the game. Since they have already played it once, thereare some, potentially many, who would find a more convenient means of playing it quite appealing since they won't necessarily feel the need to have a more focused, immersed setting since the Skyrim world is already very familiar to them.
The systme is absolutely not less powerful than the Wii U. The Zelda and Mario games we saw are games that are almost certainly running on the hardware. And Breath of the Wild has enhanced lighting, shadows, better AA, and higher quality textures especially with LOD. And the Mario game had some really excellent lighting, great textures and effects, looks pretty impressive.
We don't know just how much more powerful than the Wii U it is. If it is using a Tegra 1 that's been modified up the ass, it would be a marked improvement but less than the One by a marked degree as well. If it uses a heavily customized Tegra 2, it could get within porting distance of the One, depending. If it is using essentially a whole new Tegra developed just for it, that would be your best case scenario. We won't know any of this for a while though. But it is more powerful than the Wii U.
