Write your reply.

assistant: Sorry a cartridge for the N64 can hold no where near the 600+ Meg of a CD.
Yes, I agree they are many, many times faster. Still, they don't hold even a
tenth of a CD. Yes, you could make a 600+ meg cartridge, but then again you
would be paying in the thousands of dollars to buy it (I still don't think
that the N64 is capable of supporting that kinda mem in a cartridge anyways.
And WOW the actual physical size of the cart. One might want to buy a back
brace to put the cartridge in!

assistant: ______________
  They do. Look at Neo-Geo carts... $100-200. Those are 300 mega, and
  they are filled pretty well. You see, carts get more expensive as you
  add more to it. Sure, you can make a 560 meg cart, and it'd be better
  than a CD, but would cost around 5-10x more than the cart itself. In
  one way he's right, but truthfully, he's wrong. Just think, a cart
  that hold as much as a CD would be about as big as a motherboard in an
  arcade, and be about $2000 (estimated using standard mega/meg
  conversion of 64 mega/12 meg (N64 max capacity)) As far as which game
  is best, I'd say right now Soul's Edge (have yet to see VFIII).

 It's amazing. They added a "Dodge" button and it takes a while to get used
 to playing with 4 buttons (unless you never intend to dodge).
 They added 2 new guys. A sumo wrestler and a girl who does Aiki-Jujutsu.
 Naturally, I took the girl because I do Aikido which is VERY similar.
 I gotta be faithful to my style... :)
 The only thing is that, where I play, it's 50 cents a game which means it's
