The new Japanese Wii Shop menu item demystified

The latest Japanese Wii software update added this item to the Wii Shop Channel's settings, with a gold icon and a label about "bonus content." Above it is a link to Club Nintendo through the browser and a link to the settings for Wii Shop presents. The "bonus content" link prompts users to enter 16-digit codes before being awarded ... something. But what is this bonus content? Free Wii Points as a promotion for game purchases? VC games linked to retail games in the same series? A puppy?
It might be that stuff later, but for right now, it's how you get the Speaker Channel that interfaces with Daigasso! Band Brothers DX on the DS. A bit disappointing, sure, but having infrastructure in place for Wii Shop bonus stuff could lead to interesting things in the future.

Awesome, I saw that the other day and didn't know what it did; I was wondering where the Speaker Channel was, can't wait to give it a shot when I pick up Band Bros. DX

It might be the stuff you can unlock by putting in codes from those little "Club Nintendo" things Australia got with Mario Kart Wii and Brawl.
