What are your (main) reasons why you bought the Wii U?

I waited until Mario Kart 8 was released then I purchased the Mario Kart 8 bundle. Also, it's backwards compatible with Wii games and I still love to play Mario Kart Wii. Another thing is free online play and gamepad controller with off tv play. Nintendo's exclusives are awesome as well!!
