Would you care about a 360 degrees free camera for the upcoming title?

Considering the fact that the Switch 2 is going to be more powerful than the first one, and also that ACNH runs pretty efficiently and looks very good already, would you care for AC6 to have a 360 degrees camera?
The use of the fixed camera in this franchise has been sort of a staple, I think it's been used for optimization and performance issues mostly?
But with the Switch 2 being officially announced I've been wondering if I'd like this to change.

And... I think I'd like to have a free camera! I thought maybe the fixed one gave Animal Crossing its... well "Animal Crossing touch" but the MK8 track definitely has that vibe in my opinion and yet the camera is 360. And also ACNH sorta misses said touch, while the camera is fixed.
So yeah, I'd like to see what they can do with the added power (on top of reducing achingly long loading times) of the new system!

What do you guys think?
 
I think it would give me motion sickness 😂 depends how they go about it but to be honest I’d just prefer it to be how it always has been. It would be cool though, if they work it well
 
It could definitely be implemented, and probably wouldn't be hard to do. The fixed camera has been a consistent feature throughout the series, and if anyone noticed, tends to receive slow updates on a per-game basis. It started with the sector camera fixated on the ground in the first game, followed by Wild World loosening it and being able to look at the sky. New Leaf introduced the 360 camera for home interiors, and New Horizons loosened it further for interiors and even allows slight panning when using the camera app outdoors. I wouldn't be surprised if more adjustments such as an outdoor free-look camera were implemented, and it could even come with a new bug catching mechanic.

There's all sorts of additional things to dream about if a full free-look camera were implemented, such as a first person view. We sort of got it already with the camera app in the New Horizons 2.0 update, and it really would be awesome to be able to talk to villagers face-to-face. Hopefully that becomes a feature at some point.
 
I wouldn't mind either way too much. I can think of a few times outdoors roaming around where it would come in handy. Digging for something that's behind a house, fishing at an awkward angle.
 
it would probably make me dizzy, but then again splatoon has 360 degree cameras so I should be able to adjust to it. it would be fun! rip tho to the outdoor designs that rely on the limited horizontal camera movement (like simple panels & some cliff builds) lol
