Nintendo doesn't own the game more than microsoft own the first mass effect (or ryse or sunset). They just funded and published it. They didn't but the IP.

They do, actually.

Actually, I don't think they own the game, per se.  Rather, assuming publishing with games works as it does in other areas, they own all distribution and publication rights to the game.  That's how author's do it:  you sell portions of your rights, be it First North American Rights, Second North American Rights, Serial Rights, etc.  They could have just acquired all of that as a part of the deal for funding the game.
