They didn't say it would offer entire downloadable games. They said they it could.
If you think it will offer that anywhere near launch you're gonna be disappointed.

GRO will be a digital download for Wii U at launch.

And  Nintendo seems to be making 3rd party DD services available on the console, so I'd say full digital downloads will be available on the console like they said.

After reading that link you posted, a question emerged: Will Nintendo still use the Nintendo Points for on-line purchases or will they abandon it and use $/€/ ¥?

 

Well Wii U controller has an NFC (Near Field Communication) feature, so they could use that maybe.

We'll know for sure at E3.
