Yuke's WWE WrestleMania X8, the first GameCube wrestling. Decent roster, gameplay still finding its feet and presentation polished for the time. Less accomplished than Day of Reckoning but pleasant to dust off for nostalgia. For patient wrestling fans.

WWE WrestleMania X8 (GameCube) price, value & rarity
Is WWE WrestleMania X8 still worth playing in 2026?
WWE WrestleMania X8 marks the debut of WWE wrestling on GameCube, with the superstars of the Ruthless Aggression era and a tone leaning toward immediate action. The signature moves and multi-man matches offer direct fun, but the system proves shallower than the Day of Reckoning games that would follow, and the solo content stays limited. Today its interest lies mainly in nostalgia for that WWE period and curiosity about Yuke's first steps on the console.
