Hardcore Gaming 101 did an extremely expansive review of the Ganbare Goemon series here:

It's a pretty interesting read, I think.

"HEY,
NO CLOSE UPS!"
I watch that first cutscene every time I play.
There was a ton of awesome cutscenes too, every different choice of travel gave you a different one in between acts, depending on the price you paid.
I loved Legend of the Mystical Ninja so much, I've got an import copy of Goemon 3 (my favorite non-english one), a perfect mix of Zelda-like overworld exploring, and amazing sidescrolling dungeons.
I've also got a copy of the PS2 one, sadly it never came to North America, Working Designs, the guys who brought us Lunar and Alundra (not the second) was working on bringing it over, and they were almost done when they got shut down.

I love the Goemon series. I actually imported the DS Goemon and it's great, classic Goemon gameplay. Did you ever play the first N64 Goemon game? Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon?
@KINJI
Yeah, I forgot to mention that! Damn. You're right, brother! The game had hilarious cutscenes. Konami really made you like these characters, no matter how wacky they were! Hey, I was a proud owner of a SNES WildCard DX(back-up unit/copier). I had the pleasure of playing all four SNES Goeman action titles! I loved them so much! Still play them, from time to time. Man, the second game was so awesome!
@NAMAKUBI
Yeah, I played the first N64 game and I really, really liked it. It suffered from horrible hit detection and crazy camera issues, but it's still one helluva an early N64 effort! Kudos Konami! Man, I still play Goeman's Great Adventure! It should be released on the Virtual Console... Come on Nintendo! Do it. Do it.

The humor in these games is second to none.
I think Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for N64 was my indoctrination to quirky Japanese humore.
Awesome!
