Anyway, as I was reading up on some new....news, I found these fake home screens.
CLICK HERE
Don't look at the video link....you'll just end up pissing yourself off. Instead, scroll down a bit to a post with a series of screens.
These are quite beautiful. I love the Virtual Console screen. I could see myself spending hours just looking at all the box art for past games and reading there description (as well as shopping).
Anyway, enjoy.....

I will point out that these screens are quite obvious rip-offs of the PSP's main menu.

Those concepts look too much like a Mac or desktop enhancer. The font is too small for a TV and it's not immediately obvious where the menu is located. Also, there doesn't seem to be any thought on how you could control it with the gyros instead of the dpad.

Is that too much to ask?

(try to ignore the fact that it's a rushed paint drawing).
The idea is that you'd have transparent cubes (okay, cuboids), laid out in a similiar fashion to the DS menu, that would have 3-d representations of things floating inside of them. Then, you'd have a pointer that you could move up/down/left/right, and, just for fun, forward and back, to select what you want. You move the pointer to a cuboid, te cuboid highlights itself, you press a. Ta-da.
As a bonus, this system would help teach people how to use the revmote.

Hehe, with your Paint version it reminds me of Windows 3.1...
Heh. If anyone wants to make a nice photoshop version with transparancies, shadows, a floating hand instead of a pointer, subtle tones, and a silky yet full body that flows freely and doesn't tangle, feel free.

Immediately you get a fun little game to play with. In fact, they should just ressurect the Mario face-pulling game for the Rev's pre-menu title screen!

Edit: I've said it before. The virtual console needs to sell Revolutions, not the other way around. It's the iPod/iTunes model. They need to be cheap enough so people are tempted to buy a Revolution and a lot of these games. They will kill much of the benefit of the VC with $20 games.

As for the main menus, I think the GCN had the best one to date. I'd say Dreamcast had the second best, while I haven't seen the X-Box's I imagine they're just like PS2. And PS2 had a boring menu. Those fake Rev menus look bad... just plain ugly. Boring, plain, unoriginal, I really hope the menu doesn't turn out like that.
