The article looks like it has evidence of the original definition of "Meteoidvania", which didn't originally refer to a genre, but to games in the Castlevania series that played like Metroid.
If we wanted to update the term for accuracy, we'd probably be calling the "Metroidvania" genre "Metroid-likes" instead.
