Carrying a promise to "expand its horizons into outer space," publisher Sierra Online has confirmed that Assault Heroes 2 will roll onto XBLA on May 14. The sequel will include a number of additions to the series' freshman outing, including the ability to hijack vehicles -- including spacecraft -- as well as more levels. There will also be a number of new co-op modes included, though honestly we're less concerned with what's been added than we are with Wanako simply making them work.

Defend Your Castle, Dr. Mario, FFCC: My Life as a King, Gyrostarr, LostWinds, Toki Tori, and whatever other good WiiWare selections are made available for its launch.
BTW, did they ever manage to fix the online for the first one? I tried playing it like 4 months later and I still couldn't get a game going with anyone, so I simply assumed they gave up. I know I did. I find it slightly worrying they're rolling this out so soon when the original's online functionality is questionable (as far as I'm concerned). I hope they get it working for those who buy it.

@Blue_Falcon:
The WiiWare launch in the US isn't going to be a whole mess of games like it was in Japan. I wouldn't expect more than like 2 games the first week in addition to Crystal Chronicles, maybe less.
The Japanese launch had like 9 games followed by a month of absolutely nothing. Nintendo doesn't want to do that in the US.
