Giant Bomb is wrong. IS has never been owned by Nintendo. They are closely affiliated with Nintendo. They partner with hem. They feel like they are owned given how close they are but IS, is not owned by them. GB is a wiki edited by anyone and the only Wiki that lists that. Giant Bomb also thought Shulk was from Fire Emblem and Xenoblade was called Xenocross. Linking GB wiki is like linking Sega Retro.

Except from what I've seen they're owned IS used to be Nintendo R&D 1 I know that part is an objective fact to the point when all the R&D divisions were merged to become EAD R&D 1 remained and was merged into IS as subsidiaries have flexibility in how they're registered

I heard a different story. IS was funded independently from Nintendo and their relationship started as a hardware partner and eventually IS would become a software contractor. They helped R&D1 with a bunch of games, but I can't find any reliable source that confirms that IS was part of R&D1.
