As of now this should include most of the major content in the update but small things will probably continue to be discovered. I’ll try my best to find the new stuff. (Thanks r/animalcrossing and all the tumblr replies for helping !)
New amiibo functionality, invite characters to park in a special new area with RVs. Works with all AC Amiibo, the cards, Splatoon, Zelda, and Monster Hunter amiibo.
Special villagers such as Wolf Link, Ganon, Medli, Epona, Cece, and Viche can move to your town
The following figurines give the following villagers along with their furniture:
Toon Link - Medli (normal)
Ganondorf - Ganon (cranky)
Zelda/Link/W. Link - W. Link (jock)
Villager - no one, sort of. (courtesy of reddit user Fudgenuggets980825)
Monster Hunter amiibos - Felyne (lazy)
AC figurine amiibos can be scanned to allow them to visit your town in an RV and have furniture available to purchase
While they are camping in their RV, Wisp will temporarily replace them in their roles but does not replace their job services (courtesy of reddit user KattsTheName)
Series 1 - 4 amiibo cards give you furniture and the option to move a villager in
A list of compatible figurine amiibos can be found here
A full list of amiibo card villagers and their RVs can be found here
Amiibo camera that allows you to take irl photos with villagers
Amiibo cards of special characters such as Isabelle can be used to get their pictures as well
Wisp appears at a random location and can be found by walking around until you are called by an unknown voice at least a day after the update.
Amiibo villagers can be talked to, invited to camp, or invited to live in your town permanently from Wisp
Wisp can only grant one wish per day and can only be found once a day, meaning only one character can get Wisp each day unless you TT
If your town is full but you want an amiibo to move in, you can kick out one of your existing villagers by choice
You can use amiibo cards to move a villager back in even if they have not cleared the cycle
