Sounds like they're hinting at hard drive streaming, but as far as I know, no Wii U game has done this so far, to the point where I wasn't even sure it was possible.

Isn't that what Rockstar did with GTA V on X360? Reading data from disc and HDD simultaneously. I'd guess that if the Xbox360 could do it, Wii U can do it too (just a wild guess though). I think this is the first Wii U game to almost fill the whole disc, so that's probably the reason why it was never done before, assuming that it is possible.

I don't know if Wii U's hardware is actually wired for this though. They may have assumed they wouldn't need it, since HDD streaming on PS3/360 was mostly to compensate for their small RAM.
