"WWE WrestleMania X8" is a video game released on the Nintendo GameCube. It is based on the WWE pay-per-view of the same name. It was the first WWE game for the GameCube. With many wrestling fans expecting a solid game with a "WWF No Mercy" style engine, hopes for the game were high, despite the change of development houses from Asmik/AKI (the developer of the aforementioned title) to Yuke's (the developer of the "SmackDown!" series). The game was set to be the first Nintendo wrestling game with full Titantron entrances and realistic sound, as well as a full roster of WWE personalities. The game features several arenas that WWE held events at in 2001 and 2002. There is also arenas based on each WWE television show. The game was succeeded by WWE WrestleMania XIX on the gamecube.

The game was released in North America after the controversy of the name change from WWF to WWE. It was also released before the departure of Stone Cold Steve Austin (who had left due to creative differences with management). As a result, this version of the game was released with WWF logos over all aspects of the game, along with Steve Austin being the focal image of the game's boxart and instruction manual. The European version had Steve Austin's image replaced with that of The Rock's.

It was the last product issued by the WWF, although the box art and instruction book contain the WWE logo the game itself retains the Attitude Era logo.

The game was critized for its lack of season mode.

The game includes all three members of the nWo, consisting of Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, during their short stint in the WWF at the time. However, for reasons unknown the game has a completely different theme for their entrance music, instead of the famous "Rockhouse" nWo theme.
