Dude you don't have to tell me. Those guys were freaking wizards. Conker's Bad Fur Day? Amazing. Yeah the N64 had a pathetically small texture cache, Nintendo really screwed up there, and I can only imagine the storage limitations of the cartridge format hurt the ability to have detailed hi-res textures even more. It's like Nintendo said "Hmm, we have a really good system here, how can we deliberately screw it up?"
