"Some games definatly could fit even on 64MB but pure fact is that huge majority couldnt fit".

RE2 was one of the bigger games on the system.  Certainly bigger than the majority.  Therefore, the majority could fit.   The N64 had some incredible compression schemes. 

That said, cost of individual cartridges against optical media was a far bigger factor.

RE2 is only bigger PS1 game that was ported to N64, and there is good reason for that.

You could fit some of PS1 games on N64, but not only developers would need to cut lots a thing from PS1 version of games but scaling some PS1 game from few hundreds MB to only 64MB was very complicated, expensive and requires lots a time, so huge majority of devolpers refues to do that becuse they thought it wasnt profitable. So like I wrote, reason why N64 had bad 3rd party suport and actualy is Nintendo console with smallest number of relased games (ask yourself why that is case when N64 isnt nearly worst selling Nintendo console), is very obvious very small size of N64 catriidges (max 64MB) for 3rd partys that were relased games on CD.
