Amiibo can do many things, you can add characters, customize characters, get bonuses or rewards and unlock new adventures. However, the effect of amiibos on each game differs. Like with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, using the amiibo can give you rewards, help farm for rupees, and fuse weapons. But, this will be different for other games.

For New Pokemon Snap, it might be giving you some rewards, like an additional number of snaps for some level or give you Illumina Orbs. It might also be a chance to unlock secret areas to explore. That would be nice to have! Let's wait for more updates, and maybe they'll support amiibo for New Pokemon Snap too.
