I really don't know anything about transfering games. Is it possible to play the Virtual Console games that I have saved on an sd card on different Wii systems?

No.  For Wii, download games are tied to the hardware.  For Wii U, they will be tied to a user account.

How can you be sure though? I'd like to think so, but is there proof beyond speculation? A Nintendo press release?

Accounts are not only meant for binding games, they can be used for forums, achievements, e-shop preferences, etc. etc. So, do you have a source or smtg, or this is just your gut?

It's what Iwata talked about in January.
