It was generally praised for returning to a more classic style of Mega Man gameplay and removing the criticized gameplay elements of ''Mega Man X7''. On the other hand, ''X8'' was most criticized for its level design, which often made the game extremely frustrating to play. Critics also derided the story, remarking that it "dabbles in a lot of nonsensical anime-style ramblings about things that are of little importance to the actual game."<ref name="GameSpot review"/> According to ''[[Famitsu]]'', ''Mega Man X8'' was the tenth best-selling game in Japan during its week of release at 14,927 units.<ref>{{cite web | author=Freund, Josh | date=March 17, 2005 | title=News - Japan: Weekly hardware & software sales for March 7–13 | url=http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=4579 | publisher=GamesAreFun | accessdate=2010-06-20}}</ref> A total of 35,546 units were sold in the region by the end of 2005.<ref>{{cite web | title=2005年テレビゲームソフト売り上げTOP500 | url=http://geimin.net/da/db/2005_ne_fa/index.php | publisher=Geimin.net | accessdate=2010-06-20}}</ref>
