Call of Duty Elite, DLC plans up in the air on Wii U, Activision “working out the details with Nintendo”

Call of Duty: Black Ops II received some big news today. Just like Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty Elite will work with the game – but it’s completely free this time around.
So that begs the question – will the “first class” experience come to Wii U? Will the console receive “compatibility with the full suite of Elite services, the Season Pass, and individual Map Packs”?
We don’t actually have a concrete answer to this. Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg said that the company is “still working out the details with Nintendo.”
Hirshberg added:
“We certainly want Call of Duty to be a consistent experience across all platforms. But each platform, as you know, has different strengths, which lend themselves to different features. Instead of giving you an incomplete answer today, let us go through that process and come back with a more definitive answer in the near future.”
Hirshberg did note htat Activision is “incredibly pleased with the gameplay and graphic fidelity” of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on Wii U, and indicated that “those essential elements absolutely qualify it as a ‘first class’ Call of Duty experience.”
But right now, it isn’t clear if Call of Duty Elite is coming to Wii U. How the console will handle Black Ops II’s downloadable content is also up in the air.
