Designing the game to fit it would be one.

Designed to fit on the disc? If so I call bullshit. The NSMB Wii disc is filled with a lot of extra garbage and the actual game itself is barely above 700MB.

I doubt he's referring to storage space. New Super Mario Bros Wii is built around local multiplayer, online multiplayer would mean they have to also worry about network problems like latency. A fast pace 2D platforming game with collision detection would be unplayable online by most people.
