Item Description

WrestleMania X8 was the night The Rock met Hollywood Hogan in front of a packed SkyDome, and the GameCube game named after it captures that exact, strange moment in wrestling history. It was built as a WWF game, then the company became WWE weeks before release. The box wears the new name, but inside, the logos and references are still pure WWF, which makes it a real snapshot of the end of an era.

This was Yuke's first WWE game on a Nintendo console, taking over from AKI, the studio behind the much-loved Nintendo 64 wrestling games, and Yuke's hired some former AKI developers to shape a feel closer to those titles than to its own SmackDown series. The grappling is simple to learn, with five front and five rear grapples per wrestler, but the matches turn on counters, with different buttons answering strikes and grapples. Every superstar gets a signature entrance, and weapons come with grapples of their own.

The match list is generous: Hardcore, Table, Ladder, TLC, Steel Cage, Ironman, Battle Royal, Royal Rumble and a Hell in a Cell where you can climb onto the roof and send an opponent through it to the mat below. Path of a Champion lets you chase the Heavyweight, Intercontinental, European, Light Heavyweight, Hardcore and Tag Team titles across four difficulty levels, while Battle for the Belts offers 51 fictional championships to win, rename and recolor, including the Brahma Bull and Smoking Skull belts. Create-A-Wrestler rounds things out.

The roster is a time capsule. It marked the WWE game debuts of Booker T, Rob Van Dam, The Hurricane and Lance Storm, brought back Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair for their first WWF game appearances since the 16-bit era, and is the only game featuring Scott Hall as part of the nWo. Reviews were average rather than glowing, but for anyone who remembers the Invasion aftermath and the nWo's brief WWF run, it is the GameCube's way to relive that roster with friends.
