WWF Attitude is a professional wrestling video game based on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) released by Acclaim Entertainment in 1999 for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64. A slightly enhanced port of the game was later released for the Dreamcast, as well as a handheld version for the Game Boy Color. The game is named after the WWF's then-current "Attitude" marketing campaign, with the tagline "Get it" also being used on company programming during that period.

The game is the sequel to WWF War Zone and is the last WWF game to be published by Acclaim. The WWF signed a deal with THQ later in 1999, ending a ten-year relationship with Acclaim that began with WWF WrestleMania. Acclaim then signed a deal with Extreme Championship Wrestling, producing two games using the same game engine, ECW Hardcore Revolution and ECW Anarchy Rulz.[7]

The PlayStation version had been originally scheduled to be released on June 3, 1999,[8] but the release date was pushed back to August 5 due the death of Owen Hart to whom the game is dedicated.

Star Wars could dominate the half-term games market with the release tomorrow of Star Wars: Racer and Star Wars: Phantom Menace. Otherwise the Game Boy Color handheld seems to be in for a flood of offerings, with six games expected: WWF Attitude, All Star Baseball 2000 and Maya the Bee (all Acclaim), F1 World Grand Prix (Nintendo), International Superstar Soccer 99 (Konami), and Obelix (Infogrames).
