Intelligent Systems Co., Ltd. (株式会社インテリジェントシステムズ, Kabushiki-Gaisha Interijento Shisutemuzu^?) is a Japanese first-party video game developer and internal team of Nintendo Co., Ltd.

Intelligent Systems came into being when members of Nintendo's Nintendo Research & Development 1 division headed by Gunpei Yokoi splintered off into its own development team. Yokoi worked alongside Intelligent Systems on a number of its titles before his departure from Nintendo following the failure of the Virtual Boy. Intelligent Systems is known for creating or expanding some of the most well-received Nintendo franchises, including Metroid, Nintendo Wars, Puzzle League, Paper Mario, WarioWare and Fire Emblem. In the past it has also designed many of Nintendo's development tools including the Super Nintendo Emulator SE.

Intelligent Systems currently focuses on DS and Wii development, and has developed games for all of Nintendo's previous handhelds and consoles.

Fire Emblem 64		Cancelled - The Nintendo 64 installment in the Fire Emblem series. No screenshots were released, and it was cancelled. However, early screenshots of Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi display a radical change in graphics and style from the game's final build, as well as include characters that were nowhere to be seen in the game. This, along with the game's original title, "Maiden in the Darkness," and the fact that at one point in Fuuin no Tsurugi one character is surreptitiously given that title, has caused speculation that perhaps much of the game's story and/or mechanics was transferred onto the Game Boy Advance.[citation needed]
