Nope, the difference of cartridge memory was a cost factor, they went from 4mb to 64mb. From what i remember Conkers fur day and resident evil 2 are 2 of a small number of games to use the entire 64mb, and for RE2 they had to make a ton of space saving by using different methods of compressing and downscaling the fmv sequences to save on memory.
The bigger the cartridge storage the more it cost:

Vs a cd which cost around $3 or so and you had 650mb of storage vs 64.
