As for the server thing, they're giving Ultimate Wii U's servers to Nintendo...so they're dealing with it instead of Capcom.

But yeah, the 3DS version is meant to play the game on the go, online isn't really all that important there. Just be glad they're giving you an OPTION to play the game online...on the Wii U.
