Has Nintendo actually ever released an engine before?

They don't often use the same game engine between games but have done so a few times recently.  Typically, each game has a game engine specifically built for it.

 

Regarding this specific rumor, I can't dismiss it out right given that the Metroid Prime engine itself is a Retro modified version of Unreal Engine 2.

A very, very heavily modified version of UE2, to the point where one could hardly recognize the original engine.

Now imagine Retro getting its mitts on UE3... if this isn't actually what Retro has been doing in the first place.
