Check your Wii's download history via the Wii Shop. If there's 1600 points on there that are unused, I bet the previous owner made purchases that were stored on his SD Card and simply removed his SD card before selling it, requiring you to merely select to redownload them free of charge. Seems peculiar to have points tied to it yet never have bought anything digitally.
Plus, I'm unaware of how you could even purchase 1600 points since the closest increment that you could buy them to the best of my knowledge was 2,000 points, which means he must've made purchases in order to arrive at this balance. And since the Wii hasn't been reformatted (If it was, those unused points would've also gone poof), the downloads also remain tied to it and can be redownloaded by you.
With its popularity, Mega Man 9 might even already be accessible on it without making a purchase.
Edit: That's of course assuming that you don't already see any digital content on it, a fact I just realized that you didn't mention. But even if there were downloads already on it, a look around your download history might be worthwhile since he might've not had everything present that he had purchased on the Wii's flash memory when he sold it.
