Introducing my concept for the Wii U Menu! Here are the basic functions:

-The U Button on the bottom streams the menu to the controller.
-The Home Button on the left brings up the Home Menu for the console.
-The Disc next to the Home Button indicates when a disc is inserted.
-The envelope brings up the Wii U Message Center.
-A highlighted menu selection is blue, unselected ones are white.
-Virtual Console channels appear as grey.
-There is a grid of six channels at a time, and the user can scroll down for more.

Any opinions?

looks great, everything very easy access.
Only thing I would do is half the size of the menu items so you can fit 12 on the screen at the same time. Would still be big enough to use with touch screen.
looks slick though

I cannot even see half the things you described. It's not terrible, but it's not as good as the Wii's or 3DS'.

edit:

Sorry, the first time I saw the picture it didn't load fully. But I really prefer the Wii, it looks simpler, even.

Looks pretty good, but not very neat, and as we've seen with the Wii and 3DS, Nintendo like their stuff to be neat. But I do very much like the basic concept.

Looks great! I'm hoping they keep it similar to the Wii menu as well.

That looks good. I think that the background is more likely to be white, as the menus on the Wii, 3DS and DS all have white backgrounds. I also think that the icons for each application should be smaller. Other than that, it's great!

Here's a rough draft for the design of the Video Chat Menu.

- Green means online, red means offline.
- The circles in the background are slightly transparent, and float around slowly.
- The user can scroll through his/her friends from left to right.
- The friend avatars can be replaced by photos, but the default is the blue ? Block.
- The name is changed automatically, but the default is "Friend."

Opinions on this one?

Interesting. Will there be a limit to how many friends you'll have?

This is a toned-down, classy beta version of the Menu that would appear on the Wii U Controller.
