N64 got pretty great western 3rd party support honestly.  Midway, Acclaim, Factor 5, Ubisoft, Actvision, LucasArts, THQ, EA... lots of western developers and publishers banked on the system and made a lot of cash (while the Japanese almost universally ignored it).  It usually had superior multiplatform games too (007 TWINE, MK4, Rayman 2, Hydro Thunder, etc) when compared to the PS1 versions.

I think a lot of the western enthusiasm for N64 migrated to Xbox instead of GameCube in the next cycle.
