I wouldn't see why you'd need the touchscreen, except for making items a helluva lot more accessible. You could run it the same way the Nunchuck scheme for three ran: move with analogue slider, camera with d-pad, and your face buttons do stuff too.

MH isn't really a game where you need to be constantly readjusting the camera as much anyway

This is false. Monster Hunter's camera is 100% manual, so there is no automatic adjusting of your viewpoint whatsoever. With fast monsters like the Barrioth you can't afford not constantly adjusting the camera. When you use a bowgun, you need to aim constantly with the camera controls. When you swim underwater, you use the camera to change direction.

Camera control is one of the most important things of Monster Hunter.

Never bothered to use the bowgun, but i did forget that that was how underwater worked.
