I'm almost positive that with the new SD card update - A new memo will be passed along to Wii Ware Developers that the 40 Meg game size limit will be increased significantly.

The 40MB limit wasn't because of space limitations (well, it partially was) but it was also discouraged to go bigger because of the long download times. They may up the size slightly, but I doubt we'll see 256MB games.

 

 

That is frankly the next hurdle. Most modern connections can download that in a matter of minutes (at most) but the current loading screen does a bad job of showing progress. An old school bar would work great.
