OP
To those who haven't played the game yet, don't let this thread turn you down. If you don't have a PS3/360 (HD Collection) or want a portable version, this is still a good game. Although, you probably should get a Circle Pad Pro.
Personally, I think the framerate is a result of not building the game from the ground up for the 3DS (like we thought they would with the Naked Sample) and giving it over to a B team to port.
It's really erratic, though. During the Virtuous Mission, it's pretty much a solid 20FPS but the framerate seems to increase (sometimes to 30FPS) and then decrease (The Fury) in some parts afterwards.
Options are nice. Even if it is a gigantic tumour.
They certainly could still optimize the engine in a patch although I doubt they care enough to do so.You'll need a completely new engine to fix a broken one. It wouldn't come in a patch, but if an eShop version pops up, then that one is very likely to be optimized (assuming they think it's worth optimizing).
My general opinion on games with poor framerates is that the usual culprit is a poor engine. Even with low resources and low specs, some games on the Nintendo DS have managed to output a steady, stable 60FPS without compromising much (or anything at all). Sega All Stars Racing is one very good example, I still couldn't believe that game looks and plays so smooth for something that zips through levels. I think Metroid Prime Hunters is another example of a very good engine, which plays and looks very smooth as well, even with very frantic action going on. Dunno if it hits 60FPS though.
So yeah, poor engine, poor framerate.

Does the update include a second analog nub? So we can play the game properly.
