Looks like all games aren't created equally...yet. Ubisoft has said that the Wii U version of Assassin's Creed III is missing some of the lighting and particle effects that you see in the 360/PS3 version of the game. Ubisoft's plan is to fix that and get the game running the same as it is on 360/PS3, but that all depends on how much time they have left before they ship. Thanks to Vash for the heads up!
