I disagree with the sort by company/type. It would be better to sort by game by system.
If you sort by game by system, you'll be able to reduce the number of icons needed to be made. You'd just have to make game system icons, the individual game icons, and the individual game section icons (like for RPGs, you can have a party icon, an enemy/boss icon, a NPC icon, a backgrounds icon, etc... -- unless you want to keep the current game page arrangement of everything on one page <.<;; ).
As it stands now if I wanted the sheet of NES Pit from Kid Icarus, I'd have to go: Nintendo > Other > Other. With the by game by system sort, it would be: NES > Kid Icarus
As long as you know what platform and what game you want, you can find anything easily. You wouldn't need to know stuff like F-Zero GX was developed by Sega and produced by Nintendo. Though there is one sticking point: ports. Of course if certain games are just exact ports (no changes), you can just set up a simple redirect to the original game on the original platform. If it's an enhanced port or a total remake, then you can give it it's own page and not redirect to the original page.
