Failure (colloquially fail, phail, flop or flub) in general refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective.

I don't really see what the big deal is. Then again, I don't really care if we get another M&S game since, well, I'm not buying it. I wouldn't buy it if it was any other one, either.

But eh.

I remember some Olympic Swimming game we once had on some ancient PC. It wasn't even on a windows OS... I can't remember what it was... It was one of those button mashers where the faster you pressed, the faster you went.

No, but it's still groanworthy for yet another lame money-grab by Sega.

I hope we don't get "Grinning Monkey Fencing". ._.

No, I don't know the monkey's name. I think it's something close to Salsa, though.

I actually didn't mind the first M&S...
Lots of arm-flailing, but it wasn't awful...

Dunno if the rumor was debunked or dismissed, but apparently there is a scan from a magazine talking about next month's issue showing silhouettes of Mario and Sonic while talking about winter...

And really, given how Sega has the license I think it's the obvious direction to go in. Not saying it's the RIGHT direction but it's plausible. The important thing to do is to make Curling fun because that's the oddball game of the bunch. (Skiing is like racing, cross-country and biathlon are rhythm-based and boring, bobsled and luge are all about positioning, figure skating will be a DDR clone and speed-skating will be button-mashing.)

...Actually, skicross is in the Olympics now. Skicross and snowboard cross could be fun.

(As far as the DS went, New International Track & Field by Konami blew M&S out of the water. Not even close.)

Somehow, I think Kotaku is jumping the gun with this announcement...

Well obviously, but that's not the whole game. How would throwing rocks go?

Also, on the subject of this game in general...
