It also holds the distinction of being the first Tales of the World title to be officially released in North America.

SCEI's Ape Escape Racing has also been added. Known as Saru Get You: Pipo Saru Racer in Japan, this title is a quirky racing game where players get to "build" their own monkey racing machines by adding engines and tires to the monkeys in the Ape Escape series.

Both of these new PSP The Best titles are available in japan for 2,800 yen (US$ 24).
