The Shining games were developed by Climax/Camelot, so it's not surprising that they have similar menus (you might notice similarities with Golden Sun as well). Dragon Force I'm not sure about, but it's the only one you listed that I know of that has anything to do with WD. WD also translated Shining Wisdom, so that may have something to do with the similarity. WD, like some other localization companies, seems to have the mentality that once they get localization rights to a game, they "own" the game and can do pretty much anything they want with it - put in condom jokes, alter the gameplay, change the title, whatever. They may have decided to use elements of the Shining design for purposes of consistency in "their" games, but it's hard to say where the similarity comes from without knowing more about the original.
