It's what Iwata talked about in January.

Are you referring to this? 

The "Nintendo Network," whose logo was just spotted on the Japanese Theatrhythm cover, will cover "competitions and communication among users, as well as the sales of digital content," Iwata said, for both 3DS and Wii U. 

No.  You know, links to it were already posted in this very thread.
