My first NY project involved getting the FF8 logo onscreen and controlling it with the d-pad (& rotating and scaling with the 4 shape buttons). Once you get that down it's relatively trivial to get multiple sprites onscreen and a basic game engine running... Ira Rainey's sprite tutorial is still the original and best... I can't remember the direct URL but most I know ScoTT Campbell (~escotia) has a link to it.
