The PS Vita app is actually called <em>Travel Bug</em>, which, if read carelessly, may not have the best connotation. It's almost as silly as naming your game <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/29/robin-hunicke-leaves-thatgamecompany-for-tiny-speck/">Glitch</a></em>.<br /><br /><em>Travel Bug</em> is a Discovery app available in Europe, and it allows users to create a bug and send it out on adventures using the Vita's Near functionality. The bug will send back reports of its travels as it is picked up by strangers in far away lands, just like mom always cautioned you against doing. Players can then go hunting for other people's bugs and decide if they're worth picking up to aide in their journeys. Each bug then turns into a Tamagotchi mini-game.<br /><br /><em>Travel Bug</em>, once again proving that Europeans have a ridiculously easy time traveling the globe.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/29/european-vita-owners-get-the-travel-bug-app/">European Vita owners get the Travel Bug app</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 29 Nov 2012 02:00:00 EST.
