How to get Wii games without wii internet?

Well the question doesnt make sense but, here it is, i have no internet at my house, and i got a Wii for christmas, normal original one, just it feels empty without downloads, so, can i go to a friends house and download games or etc onto a sd card and put them on the wii? Not like isos or illegal stuff, like super mario 3 ( old game) my friend had one at his house and it was fun just to play that, SO can i get these games anywhere, online, to download onto a sd CARD AND INSERT IT INTO THE WII... thank ya.

    The only legal way to get digital titles on your Wii will be to do the following...

    1) Take your Wii to a location with a WiFi connection that you can access -- Your friend's house or your public library (if permitted) will suffice here.

    2) Connect your Wii to said WiFi location.

    3) Update your Wii to Wii Menu 4.3, if you haven't already -- Just to get that requirement out of the way.

    4) Load up the Wii Shop Channel.

    5) Purchase Wii Points (w/ credit card) OR Redeem Wii Points Cards

    6) View the Wii Shop Channel, Purchase & Download desired titles.

    Please be aware that the DRM keys are tied to the system that purchased the title. Therefore, you can't enjoy the games your friend purchased from the Wii Shop UNLESS you've purchased them as well (because DRM keys don't transfer).

    If you don't like that, you'll have to resort to softmodding & illegal tactics to fill up your Wii's channel listings.

    Wii Shop purchases are not transferable from system to system.

    You can bring your Wii to your friend's house to download content to bring home to play, but you can't just transfer it via an SD card.
