Batman: Arkham Origins getting online multiplayer, but apparently not coming to Wii U

Warner Bros. announced an online multiplayer component for Batman: Arkham Origins today. Surely this significant feature will be coming to Wii U, right? Well, not exactly…

As far as I can tell, Origins’ online multiplayer will not be available on Wii U. Warner Bros.’s announcement only mentions the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, and the official trailer is also conspicuously absent of a Wii U logo.

I’m not quite sure what reason there would be to keep Batman: Arkham Origins’ online multiplayer off Wii U, but we’ll try to get some answers.
