> The N64 had some real stinkers (Superman 64)

Superman 64 came out in May 1999, right around when Nintendo announced "Project Dolphin" (a.k.a. the GameCube). I have a feeling most of the other "stinkers" were similarly late in the N64's lifecycle, by which point the lack of third-party games would already have been a known issue and would've prompted the very relaxation of quality controls that allowed games like Superman 64 to see the light of day.

And besides Superman 64 (which I never played), I can't really think of very many other "stinkers" for the N64. Maybe Roasters (another Titus title, even later than Superman 64), but even that was pretty fun to play (even if it reeked of being low-budget).

Fair points otherwise.
