Isurus Multimedia Industries

Isurus Multimedia Industries, usually shortened to Isurus or IMMI, is a company created by SharkLord1954 for his various fanon wiki purposes. Starting out as a small indie company that approached various companies for funding, it started gaining attention after it assisted Nintendo in developing the Nintendo Super Switch.
The name comes from the genus of sharks that includes mako sharks, on the basis that "It sounded cool, it's easy to pronounce, easy to remember, and I (SharkLord) really liked sharks." Their logo is based on the tooth of a great white shark, flipped upside-down to indicate a "level-up," while divided into three parts of different color. The colors and tiers, like the name, don't have a deeper meaning and only exist for the sake of looking cool.
==History==
===Origins===
Isurus started out as a small indie company on April 16, 2020. There was only about three to ten employees at a single time, and one could argue that it's head, SharkLord, was the real company. However, SharkLord had a very long list of plans, and approached other companies for funding and publishing, all of which turned the company down. As such, Isurus mainly subsisted off of Kickstarter funds.
Eventually, he came to Nintendo for support. The gaming giant took interest in their plans, and welcomed the small indie company aboard. SharkLord pitched many ideas, most of which were left on the drawing board, but some managed to make it to the release day. However, the first big success that he found was the Super Switch. A successor to the original Switch, SharkLord's pitch saw many changes before something all agreed on was created. After the blueprints were completed, Nintendo and Isurus' new partnership was sealed, and the employee count swelled significantly.
===Partnership With Nintendo===
Nintendo publicly announced their partnership with Isurus at E3 of 2022. Aside from the frenzy of speculation from SharkLord's offhand mention of a possible new console, which would later become the Super Switch, reception was somewhat mixed. There was some excitement for the new titles, such as future flagships Harbor Wave and Arianell: Silver Shroud, but many questioned the reasoning behind a segment dedicated to some random indie company with only a couple new reveals that didn't even have any gameplay. However, SharkLord gained attention for being more involved with the fans on the internet and through social media, as well as his comedic, offbeat behavior, spawning many a meme. This humorous reputation was boosted further by the April Fools joke Hibber Wiff in 2023, which instantly shot up to meme status. However, Isurus wouldn't truly hit it's stride until E3 of that year, where the Super Switch was unveiled.
===The Super Switch===
The reveal of the Super Switch, many new ports and games, and a widely-memed moment where SharkLord beat up a unit and shouted about how it was "Pure Nintendium" brought the company much attention, with many noting the many new IPs and stylized art direction. Many also noted the hefty amount of collaborations with other companies.
The Super Switch launched in November 2nd, 2023, to great acclaim. Isurus developed all three launch titles; Kirby: Sea Stones, Harbor Wave, and Scorched Road. With a widespread appeal and diverse aesthetics, the Super Switch managed to find a little something for everyone, cementing Isurus' place in the gaming sphere.

==Trivia==
*As noted above, the name Isurus is the genus which mako sharks belong to. Despite this, the logo is based on the tooth of a great white shark.
**However, it should be noted that the current scientific consencus is that great whites and makos are closely related, though this wasn't considered during the naming and designing process.
