Vanz Media (VM) is proud to unveil its groundbreaking collaboration with PowerA, marking our first foray into the next-gen Nintendo Switch 2 platform. From concept to completion, VM led creative direction, high-end animation, and title design—bringing to life the world’s first third-party licensed gamepad built specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Bringing the Controller to Life
From 3D renders to dynamic lighting and polished animations, VM delivered cinematic-level product visuals that highlight the gamepad’s contours, Hall effect modules, mappable gaming buttons and many more features, bringing this launch film to life.
Our team also crafted crisp, modern typography and title sequences that align with Nintendo’s next-gen aesthetic. These titles feature bold, dynamic animations—reflecting the seamless precision the gamepad delivers.

Creative Collaboration from Day One
Vanz Media joined the project at inception, working hand-in-hand with PowerA on, CAD reviews, and design specs. Our role extended through to launch deliverables—animatics, animated titles, UI overlays, and final polish, including sound design.
Vanz Media is thrilled to be the principal animation studio for PowerA’s Advantage Wired Controller for Switch 2—the first licensed third-party gamepad of its kind and we are happy to announce the Nintendo Switch 2 became a record breaker when it sold 3.5 million units worldwide in the first four days!
