Can the upgrades finally be disabled in HD remake of 2?

I loved Dark Moon on the 3DS, but one thing I despised was the fact that you couldn't disable the upgrades you acquire by collecting money. The upgrades made the game way too easy, especially the last upgrade, which just (pun intended) sucked the fun out of the game for me.

So my question is, can anyone confirm that the upgrades are at least able to be disabled now?
