The Wii didn't make the multiplayer not be local. That was a design choice. And since the Wii still handles them with online, which has plenty of numbers from the online statistics report, it's clear the Wii can handle them.

Actually it was the limited development time, a Treyarch developer on GAF stated splitscreen was in the original plan but was cut when they didn't have enough time.
