I feel like the other threads aren't as specific, so here you go.
Gameplay changes
Interface
? Screenshots can now be shared to Facebook and Twitter directly from a dedicated button on the touch screen.
? The TPC menu has been divided into tabs. One tab displays Town Initiatives while the other displays the TPC.
? The 'Friends in Town' button is now a darker green color.
? The text box when loading and saving now has a light blue border, instead of cyan, and a dark blue background.
? Fruit can now be stacked while in the storage interface.
? The storage interface will remember the last viewed page for each tab instead of resetting to the first page.
? The search function of the catalog machine has been improved with keyword support, and no longer requires exact search terms to find items.

Campground
A new Campground has been built in town, and is located on the eastern or western cliffs of town (depending on town orientation) and is managed by Harvey. Every day an RV will appear in the campground, with a special character inside. A second RV will appear when a Welcome amiibo villager is scanned. Unique and hard to obtain items can be purchased from Harvey or the campers using MEOW Coupons.
Town Initiatives
Town Initiatives are daily objectives that can be completed to receive MEOW Coupons, which is the currency used in the Campground. A CAT Machine has been added outside of Town Hall, and allows the player to receive MEOW Coupons after completing initiatives. The initiatives range from simple tasks such as donating fish, and planting trees, to more involved objectives such as spending a large amount of bells on a single purchase. They can be viewed on the TPC screen of the menu, where the completion time will also be listed.
Home improvements
A new house expansion, a Secret Storeroom, can be purchased from Nook's Homes for 158,000 Bells. Accessed from the touch screen, it provides a vast amount of additional storage space that can hold up to 360 items. The storeroom's inventory is separate from the existing 180-capacity locker space, but can only be accessed while inside the player's house.
After purchasing the expansion, Tom Nook will introduce the player to Lottie. She will demonstrate how to arrange furniture using the touch screen, similarly to Happy Home Designer. After the tutorial is completed, the feature will be unlocked for use in the player's house.
In addition, clothes can now be displayed on the walls of a house, just as they can in Happy Home Designer.
Sell Town
When opting to rebuild a town, the player can now sell the town to Tom Nook for a large amount of bells that can be transferred to help create a new town. The player's catalogue can optionally be sold for additional funds, or transferred to the new town. The funds can either be received as a lump sum, or in small daily instalments with additional interest payments of 10%.
Selling a town is only possible if the town has a prestige level of 3. This can be determined by the growth stage of the Town Tree (50 days and 50 hours). Public Works Projects that have been requested by villagers in the old town will automatically be available to construct in the new town.
Minigames
The update includes two new minigames, Animal Crossing Puzzle League and Desert Island Escape. These can be played by activating a Nintendo 3DS XL/New Nintendo 3DS XL or a Wii U piece of furniture, respectively. High scores at these games reward the player with exclusive furniture and clothing sets.
Nobody cares about the amiibo camera & the amiibo villagers are self explanatory.
