How in the hey-nonny-nonny would that work?

Downloading directly to your SD card...

Even when you play directly from your SD card you have to have enough room available on your Wii's onboard memory to copy it over to for the duration of play

And this would have to be a big-ass SD card, even ignoring that

Notice I also said System Menu 5.0.  If you recall it was System Menu 4.0 that allowed the current SD card solution.  5.0 would expand could expand that further by allowing direct SD card code execution.  Besides, a 32 GB SDHC card runs only $80 and prices are dropping quickly with 64 GB and 128 GB models due soon.  Or System Menu 5.0 could allow USB HDD's and code execution.   Or System Menu 5.0 could allow for the exporting of just the executable code to the internal flash memory first (very tiny file size) and then dump the SD card to the RAM like a regular disc based title (would eliminate any loading or data streaming issues - think Monster Hunter 3 with 0 delay between worlds).

May as well toss another prediction in there: Removal of friends codes for registered consoles or via parental controls.
