From what I can gather, I don't think Nintendo "owns" Intelligent Systems like they own Monolith Soft or Retro Studios. Both Nintendo and Intelligent Systems usually refer to each other as "partner"... which would be a weird word to use if one part has complete control over the other.

I think IS is just a second party that works incredibly close with Nintendo.
