What I am trying to find out is if it is possible to play large eshop games (12+ gig) from a high speed SD card using a USB SD card reader.
Something like this:

My research has found just two Youtube videos of someone doing this example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaBQFRsWxeo
Everything else is just pirating software with flash drives.
I am trying to avoid the expense of an external HDD and if this is feasible it will save me a lot of money. If anyone set up their Wii U to run full size eshop games from this type of external memory set up please let me know the good and the bad of this configuration.
Sites like Destructiod have said it would work, but most of this information is from the 2012 Youtube video I linked. I am interested in any impressions from those who have used this set up for several months or a year.
Any advice is is appreciated and thank you for reading.
