Does the Nintendo Switch physical version of Batman: Arkham Trilogy include all three games on one cartridge?

Batman: Arkham Asylum will be included on the Batman: Arkham Trilogy game cartridge. Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Knight will require an online connection to download and install both titles when the Batman: Arkham Trilogy cartridge is inserted into the Nintendo Switch console. All three games will then be playable as long as the cartridge is inserted into the Nintendo Switch console.

I hate this. I want to forever own the game. Final Fantasy X/X-2 does the same thing, with X-2 being a download. It's not like I can count on Nintendo's servers being up forever, or at least there being a mirror site for downloading a game.

It's practices like this that just encourage piracy. At some point Nintendo will close those servers, and in all likelihood game preservationists and fans will be the ones to keep things going. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a physical copy of a game. Especially annoying when they opt for digital downloads for a game like FFX-2 - surely both those games could fit onto a nintendo switch cartridge (they go up to 64GB) - but I guess it's cheaper for them to use a smaller volume card...
