WWF WrestleMania X8 and WWE WrestleMania XIX were released on the Nintendo Gamecube back in 2002 and 2003 respectively. While Playstation 2 owners were enjoying games such as Smackdown "Just Bring It" and Smackdown "Shut Your Mouth", Nintendo fans were treated to completely different WWE wrestling games that ran on a different engine. WrestleMania X8 featured the WWF game debut of many of some WCW / ECW alliance wrestlers such as Lance Storm and Booker T, and it was also the only WWF game of it's era to include all three original nWo members.
WrestleMania XIX improved on every aspect of WrestleMania X8. It looked much better, there was more to do, it was much more fun to play, and it also included the "Revenge" mode. In Revenge Mode, you must destroy Vince McMahon's WrestleMania plans by infiltrating a harbor, a shopping mall, a car park and a construction site.
This video looks at both WrestleMania offerings on the Gamecube. All footage was captured from the console itself.

Kurt Angle taking off his straps from his singlet is awesome. I love little details like that in games

My favorite aspect of the Gamecube games was the ref's fighting back after having enough of the wrestlers' abuse. Also, all the moves look so damn crunchy and painful on the Gamecube

My gamecube library is really small, I have the WWE games and Resident Evil 0, Remake and Resident Evil 4. I originally bought it just for the RE Remake, but the WWE games, particularly the DOR games were a nice bonus. I remember sinking a lot of time into Wrestlemania 19's Revenge mode, but I didn't remember the chains. That looks rather frustrating. Great video, and thanks for the great job you've been doing especially with the lockdown situation. It's a nice bonus to be able to put on one of your videos and forget about the troubles for a short while.

@WrestlingBios 4 года назад

REmake is one of my favourite Gamecube games and it was one of the reasons I bought the console too. I've been replaying the HD remaster lately too after being slightly disappointed with RE3 Remake.

@16BitJayGaming 4 года назад

@@WrestlingBios I can understand that, I enjoyed it but at the same time I do feel they could have done a lot more and Nemesis was underwhelming, I wish he was more like Mr X in RE2 Remake. I remember the original Remake blew my mind, the mansion was so spooky, exactly what we all wanted with it.

Not to mention, WM 19 was the first wrestling game to have full entrances (besides WM 2000 on N64). That’s one of the reasons why I loved that game

@drpepper0911 4 года назад

Interesting that X8 covers are both "WWE", but in game is "WWF".

@or2130 3 года назад

It has to do with the timing of this games development, when they started it was still WWF but once they finished it was WWE, due to deadlines they couldn't go back and change the in game logos, so they just changed the cover and packaging.

@MarlonAnthony 4 года назад

Loved this, Been playing Wrestlemania XIX a lot this week. It seems to be the closest thing to a spiritual No Mercy sequel we ever got, Especially in the the art style and animations. 2 former AKI developers worked on X8 & XIX and i think it shows especially in the latter.

Awesome Awesome Awesome Video! Retro gaming is one of my main serious hobbies (NES Tetris specifically)... So these videos you've done covering old wrestling video games have been right up my alley! Never did own a GameCube, so these games were totally new to me during this video. I owned the NES, SNES and N64 and a bunch of the wrestling games for those. Fired up the SNES Royal Rumble game early last week and it gave me chills. lmao. Thanks so much for the effort! Please stay safe out there!

These games are my childhood. Sure, the PS2 Smackdown games are probably better and more refine (and I also grew up with those games) but I always found these games to be very underrated. I especially love how in WM19 (and in the Day of Reckoning games) you can completely create your own entrances with a created wrestler before the main series WWE games did that feature. Back as a kid, that was amazing!

My long held theory about revenge mode is both a work and a shoot the bosses are just ovw guys and the security guards are just rookies breaking in and each mission is just a segment on raw each week to build hype for the wrestlemainia 19 main event it’s brilliant

@TheFEARSlayer01 2 года назад

Fantastic review here, really highlights my feelings on both games well, I played XIX a ton as a kid and even now I'll sometimes pop it in and have fun for a few minutes. One extra thing about the Revenge Mode that's worth mentioning is that there are 2 completion bonuses. When you complete it for the first time you unlock EX Special Moves in the game. EX Special Moves serve to let some wrestlers on the roster perform an alternate finisher from a position that they already have one in. The most notable example here being Undertaker's EX special being the Tombstone. However EX Special moves require that you have 3 finishers stored and to activate them, you must press L and R along with A and B and it'll use all 3 slots and then you perform finishers like normal. Another unlockable is obtained upon a 2nd playthrough of Revenge Mode, completing it a 2nd time unlocks the Revenge Camera for Exhibition. The Revenge Camera basically means you can use the rotating camera during matches, this obviously only works if you're playing Exhibition alone. It's a neat addition although it can be weird for sure.

@cchisolm92cc 4 года назад

I stayed up all night to play these games on my purple Game Cube console. I enjoyed playing 18x but 19x was so different. The graphics were so arcade like but all of the superstars look amazing imo. The game play in 19 was pretty fluid considering it being around 03' and you could have intergender matches. Oh every person had alternate attires. Something I miss in wrestling games.

@jmiles86 4 года назад

I still have my player's guide for WrestleMania XIX. I loved that game. I played so many different wrestling game back then. My favorites were WCW vs NWO World Tour and Revenge, WWF No Mercy, WrestleMania XIX, Day of Reckoning 1 & 2, and SmackDown vs Raw 06 and 07. I actually just got a copy of Here Comes the Pain and I can't wait to play it.

@EasyE3939 4 года назад

I love the innovation of the grapple strikes on top of the x8 system, which heavily borrows from No Mercy mechanics. What makes it more interesting is the fact that AKI was simplifying their mechanics for their Def Jam and Ultimate Muscle fighting games; removing selling animations, adding a submission bar and making their old animations more fluid to fit the the new games they were making (there were no video game licenses to be had after Vince bought WCW from under them and EA,) etc. Meanwhile Yuke's is here with two former AKI guys on lead design and they're building upward- making new beautiful hand drawn move animations and adding them to their x8 library, which looks like it was built on some smoothed out animations, some from the SD series.

One of my biggest issues with XIX is the fact that the intro walks are so stiff and they're basis of your intro. It makes everything so stiff! But the mode gives you way more options and camera angle than the 2K games. Even the latest, 2K20 looks identical to how it has looked since SVR 2006.
