The N64 was the generation that missed licensing tie-ins.

I didn't know that there was a Spider-Man 64 until recently and Batman never received a game for the console aside from Batman Beyond. No Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. No Jurassic Park. No X-Men.

Even, even when you go in-house, there was no Metroid game aside from Samus being a playable character in the first Super Smash Bros. How do you have a Nintendo console without Metroid?
The N64 literally had Superman 64.

Also, this shitty Rugrats Mario Party ripoff that my friend at the time gave me to make up for losing the GB Kirby games I let him borrow (though I think he just stole them, and used the opportunity to off-load that Rugrats game along with the racing game he also gave me).

As for Metroid, that was because Nintendo didn't know how to follow up Super Metroid at the time, and by the time Retro Studios was formed and started working on Prime, it was too late for the N64 cycle.
