Its real real simple - two things are possible, option B is the least "annoying"
Option A: Nintendo releases an update for the wii that allows the wii to support HC SD cards, allowing us to choose from many high capacity options, (lets use an 8GB one for example). The Wii can then be made to run those games from the SD card - it would have most of the data on the card and need to retreive an authorization from the Wifi connection, thus allowing the game to run on the Wii.
Option B: cheaper, and more space - the Wii will receive an update which will allow external HD's to be plugged into the USB port - same scenario as above, but an HD is cheaper and has more capacity, we can also put our old unused IDE drives into an external case and use that (I have a 250GB one sitting around).
Plenty of room, and completely possible.
Option C also exsist: proprietary external HD - bad choice because it equals more expense for Nintendo's customer, something they have avoided in the price of their console.
