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.

Do you have a link of where you got that from because everywhere I check all says they were formed from R&D1 with the original 13 members even being from R&D1, Toru Narihiro their founder was tasked with porting software to cartridge roms I've not seen anywhere that says they were hardware partners at all.

I think I saw it on Wikipedia and also several other forum threads over the internet that asked this same question. Not a reliable source by any means, but its what I read. 

There's also the fact that Intelligent Systems calls Nintendo "partner" in their website. Which, as I said, would be very weird to say from someone who is controlled by said partner. If Nintendo owned IS, they wouldn't call their owner "partner".
