Has Nintendo ever had the entire rom of a major game leak before it was released?

And Metroid dread. I finished that one the weekend before it came out. Then bought the collectors tin.
One of the gen 9 pokemon games. I think violet?
I was out with my wife’s family coordinating with my brother by text trying to get it downloaded.

Not quite the same but there was a working GBA emulator before the console released.
