Sony stormed the gaming world with its first handheld offering amazing graphics at the time, great portability, and an amazing games library. Marketed as a portable gaming console, the PSP sold over 80 million units across the globe dropping five different versions, 1370 games released during its 10 years life span, and a dozen of colors and limited edition variations.
Wingspan Asia is several different things: A stand-alone game for 1 player or 2 players (Duet mode that can be used with any bird/bonus cards), a card expansion to the original Wingspan (any bird/bonus cards across any Wingspan game or expansion can be combined), and a 6-7 player expansion via the new Flock mode (for which the player components from the core game are necessary).

Asia is home to over 2,800 bird species, so it was quite a challenge for Elizabeth to narrow them down to a reasonable quantity for an expansion. She used suggestions from the Wingspan Facebook group and the bird request form on our website along with some of her favorites from research and top picks from each of our localization partners in Asia. If your favorite bird is missing, feel free to still suggest it here (we may someday make a promo pack of the most popular birds we missed):
One of the biggest challenges of making Wingspan Asia both a standalone game for 1-2 players and an expansion was the rulebook. We needed the rulebook to stand alone yet also teach the Duet and Flock modes for people who already know the rules.
As a result, we decided to make a single comprehensive rulebook for all of Wingspan. That way you only ever need to reference this one rulebook instead of juggling rulebooks from the core game and other expansions (though please keep your appendices!). The result is the 16-page rulebook you can find on our website now (and, of course, in the Wingspan Asia box).
A core component for each player in Wingspan is the player mat on which you play birds and select various actions. With Wingspan Asia being a standalone game for 1-2 players in addition to being an expansion, we needed to include 2 player mats.
With the core game of Wingspan covering the birds of North America, our hope has been to cover each other continent in an expansion. First was Europe, then Oceania; we selected Asia next at least partially because we have a large player base, multiple distributors, and a number of localization partners in Asia. The remaining continents (in no particular order) are Antarctica, Africa, and Latin America.
When Elizabeth and I discussed some ideas for the expansion (beyond just more birds), I proposed the possibility of making it playable without the core game for 1-2 players. Thus it could invite more people into the world of Wingspan and hopefully do something unique at those player counts, especially during the pandemic.
Love the new bird cards and bonus cards in the Asia expansion!Question: For the replacement Anatomist bonus card, for 4+ birds, the point value on the Asia replacement card is worth 6 points. It is replacing the bonus card from the base game where 4+ birds is worth 7 points. What was the rationale for reducing this point value? Was it to balance the game in some way? (or was this unintentional?) Thanks!
I hear you, Christian! We were trying to make this expansion as concise as possible for eco-friendly reasons, figuring that 90% of people would use it as an expansion and not need the box (but we still wanted to take into consideration those who do use it as a stand-alone game). I store my Wingspan Asia cards in the bags.
Is there a resource for finding what local stores are carrying this expansion? I want to support local game stores, if possible, but going store by store until I find it is not an ideal option for me.
Why are there duplicate bonus cards in the Asia expansion for Cartographer, Photographer, and Anatomist as they were included in the original game? Why is the 4+ bird points 6 instead of 7 for the Anatomist in the Asia expansion version?
I have the core and wingspan european expansion and typically its my wife and i play and we get about four games out of a set of cards. As we plan to get other expansion packs my questions are:How do people shuffle the cards? Currently i spread them out over the living room carpet and give them a good mix but im not sure how practical that is with four setsHow often do you shuffle them? We tend to work through them until we have less than a game full left but do people shuffle them after each game as you get more sets to keep the mix fresh?Thanks.
Asia is a standalone game only for 1-2 players. For your first play at higher player counts (given that you have the core game and other expansions) if you want to have mostly Asia stuff, you could stack the deck so all the Asia cards show up first.
1. Is Duet mode optional for two players? Or is it kind of the recommended way to play with two players from now on? Just wondering what should be treated as the most standard version of the game with all the expansions going forward.
Hi Jamey and SG team! The upcomming Asia expansion totally sold me the Wingspan game. will the Wingspan Bundle include the Asia expansion once it is launched? I might be wanting to purchase everything at once :)
My question: if I wanted to mix in the new Asia expansion birds into the larger deck (NA+EE+OE), but also retain the ability to play a standard 2-player with just AE cards, is there a way to purchase a second pack of AE cards without buying the whole game twice? Or would I need to manually pull the AE cards out from the larger deck each time?
Hi Jamey,Wth the Nesting box saving on packaging for Asia, could you could produce versions of subsequent expansions that come in cheaper/more sustainable packaging for Nesting Box owners, or would splitting the packaging run make that a financial non-starter? I am personally open to receiving Wingspan Africa in a brown paper bag like it was some sort of contraband :D
SUPER excited for this expansion! Admittedly (and proudly), we are Wingspan addicts and have enjoyed both the online and board game versions. We use a 6-deck card shuffler to enjoy all of the birds in one sitting.
If your game is a disk copy, you still need the actual disk to play even if you move it to the M.2 SSD. The digital version of the game will not have this problem.In addition to helping to release the storage space of the PS5 console, you can also play, download and update PS4 or PS5 games on the M.2 SSD directly, without having to move back to the console to operate, which is very convenient.
The portable SSD, like the M.2 SSD, can store PS4 and PS5 games and game save files, but you can only play and install PS4 games on the portable SDD. PS5 games cannot be played on portable SSD.Therefore, it is recommended to use the portable SSD to move games in PS4 to PS5 to play. In addition to playing on an external device directly after connecting to PS5, saving time for reinstallation, it also allows more PS5 games to be installed in the storage of the PS5 itself.
Before you remove the portable SSD, first make sure the power light of PS5 or PS4 game console is completely off before unplugging the device. If you want to unplug the external storage device while the game console is running, you need to go to the setup screen and exit the device. The related steps are provided below.PS5Settings > Storage > USB Extended Storage > Safely Remove from PS5
If you already have a PS4 and want to transfer the game to PS5 after purchasing PS5, it is recommended that you buy a portable SSD, such as M200 Sniper Mobile SSD from T-FORCE with up to 8TB of storage. It is sturdy, durable, lightweight and has enough capacity to be used as a portable SSD for storing games
Wipeout HD (stylised as WipEout HD) is a game for the PlayStation 3 that is available for download via the PlayStation Network store. It was developed by Studio Liverpool. The game takes place in 2206 AD, a year prior the events of Wipeout Pulse in the FX350 Anti Gravity Racing League.
The game was released on 25 September 2008 in Europe and the US, and in Japan on 29 October 2008. The expansion to the game, Wipeout HD Fury, was released on 23 July 2009. Wipeout HD and its expansion were released on Blu-ray on 16 October 2009 in Europe.[1]
An expansion pack for Wipeout HD entitled Wipeout HD Fury was released on the PlayStation Store worldwide on 23 July, 2009. The pack consists of eight new tracks, 13 new ship models, and three new game modes: Eliminator, Zone Battle, and Detonator. The add-on also includes a new 80-event campaign mode, a redesigned menu interface, 13 new Trophies, and six new music tracks. Four of the new tracks included in the Fury pack are from the PlayStation Portable Wipeout games (The Amphiseum, Talon's Junction, and Tech De Ra from Wipeout Pulse; Modesto Heights from Wipeout Pure) and include accompanying "reverse" tracks. The remaining four tracks in the expansion pack (Pro Tozo, Mallavol, Corridon 12, and Syncopia) are taken from Wipeout Pure and are playable exclusively in Zone, Zone Battle, and Detonator events.
Wipeout HD was first officially announced during E3 2007, where it was explained that it would be a downloadable title, available on the PlayStation Network, that would feature high-definition versions of old tracks. Later in the year at the Tokyo Game Show, Sony revealed to journalists that the game would be available before the end of 2007, and would include two further game modes that were ultimately not included for the final release: Eliminator and Head to Head. However, a 2007 release was not forthcoming; development continued through 2008, and a shifting release date (initially believed to be Summer, 2008) was eventually finalised in the middle of September 2008, for release later that month. 2ff7e9595c
