Actually, it was a way for Bandai to cut back on production costs. The big cartridge consisted of the memory mapper and the lockout chip, among other necessary chips that can be similar between games, while the smaller carts contained the CHR and PRG data. Essentially, cutting costs to produce one set of chips "permanently" while producing fewer various chips.

The NES Deck Enhancer worked in a similar way, except unlike the SuFami Turbo, it wasn't given the OK by Nintendo.

Remember when Nintendo home consoles were the "main" console?
