Game Section Button Layout

by **Infinity's End** » 09.10.10 1:33pm

Hey all,
I'm just trying to gather everyone's thoughts on the Game Section Button Layout that lines the top of the site.

Currently, the order is kinda weird. It goes:
[classic series by chronological release, not by how the games appear in the timeline]
[primes 1-3]
[hunters, pinball]
[smash bros games]

It made sense to me at one point, but not really anymore. -_-;

Anyway, I was just curious on what your thoughts would be for reorganizing them. If you can offer a better, more logical solution for the order in which these games should appear, by all means.

My proposed re-order is as follows:
[classic series by game timeline]
[prime series by game timeline]
[smash bros.]

So it would be:
Metroid
Zero Mission
Metroid II
Super Metroid
Other M
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Prime
Pinball
Hunters
Prime 2
Prime 3
SSB
SSBMelee
SSBBrawl

I think it's important to have the Prime series seperate from the Classic series. If it was strictly based on the timeline, then the Prime series would "interrupt" the Classic one and it might just confuse new people.

Just give me your thoughts and feelings on the situation. Thanks! :cool:

that actually sounds like a pretty logical grouping.

Yeah, I think it makes way more sense than the current set up, I say go for it.

IMO, Hunters and Pinball should not interrupt the normal Prime trilogy. Put it at the end of those 3 and I'm pleased.

What Dragonheart said. In the same way the Prime series would interrupt the classic series if placed in chronological order, Pinball and Hunters would interrupt the Primes.

So you guys are saying just leave it how it is?

just reorganize the classic series by game timeline

Ok, I updated/rearranged the buttons. How do you guys feel about that?
