Did Nintendo purposely make a great game that people would notice and love? Yes. Is this marketing? Sort of.
Nintendo simply made the best game they could make. The free advertising is the public resonating with how well the game is made.
That's like asking if a pro athlete is there as a marketing technique. You have the player on your team because you believe he will help you win games.
