I know that you can download games from Nintendo's Wii Channels and play them on the Wii console, but can you also download older Nintendo game roms and play them on the Wii from the SD or internal memory?

Can you download playable Wii games?

The Virtual Console section in the Wii store allows you to do this. The games can be saved to and played from your SD card as well.

Don't waste your money on the VC games (unless you have a WiiWare title in mind). Follow the link HatNJ posted and install the homebrew channel. Then get a good sized SD card and fill it up with your favorite emulators and games. VC games are a total ripoff when you can hack your Wii and buy an SD card for nearly the same price as one VC game.
