Nintendo published. In other words, Nintendo took the risk and funded the entire project, and also controlled the production schedule. They also paid for all the advertising and marketing, as well as printing, and paid for the shelf-space.

So I'd imagine Nintendo is being cut a deal, unless it was in the contract that said otherwise, but developers typically get screwed in contracts.
