If you buy your Wii U and 3DS from Australia, you'll have a hard time once you come back to Malaysia. See, 3DS has cartridge region lock. If you buy in Australia, you will have a hard time sourcing for games once you come back to Malaysia. Australia for some reason gets PAL (Europe) version of 3DS and Wii U while Malaysia gets NTSC-U/C version of 3DS and Wii U. Unless you plan to never ever use a 3DS cartridge in the country ever and get everything though online downloads from Australian eShop (how you top up the eShop credit is another matter which I presume you can settle), or not planning to come back to Malaysia ever, it's probably not a good idea to buy their Wii U or 3DS.
Btw, PAL region also always late when it comes to game releases. So yeah- also unless you're okay with waiting up to 9 months(*1) for a game after it becomes available in Malaysia.
(*1) See the PS3 Persona 4 Arena fallout.
