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".

Wikipedia doesn't say that now though and as for partners look at what I pointed out earlier Creatures Inc are an affiliated partner as well yet they are a fully owned asset of Nintendo under their original registered name Ape. The are business reasons for the partner structure such as keeping certain properties and assets private.
