they needed it ready as fast as possible so they didnt make online for it
they were likely too busy with other projects (wiiu, kid icarus, mario 3ds, mk7, skyward sword, etc)
you know they have different team for different games
but time was probably the biggest factor
still think it was a bad choice since everyone has forgotten about it now, and it didnt sell very well
