I like to watch https://toonamiaftermath.com/ on my lunch breaks and they occasionally show old commercials from the 90s. Some of them aged hilariously.

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.
