So... Yesterday I was playing Mario Kart 7 on my new 3DS XL. I played for about an hour on full 3D, then turned it off. I stood up fast, not feeling any motion sickness, then stretched. At first it felt like when you get up too fast and you're dizzy, but then there was nothing, followed by swirls and pokemon music in the background? When I woke up it felt like my whole body had a small charlie horse. I had no idea what caused me to do that, so I just stopped playing for a little bit.
Later that day my mom came home. The WiFi works better in the living room she's usually in so I played in there. I played the game again for about an hour on full 3D and the same thing happened. I woke up and it didn't feel like it was long after I was stretching. I didn't remember falling. My mom was there when I woke up and she said "you weren't kidding?" I said it must have been the 3DS and that I'd never get up and stretch like that after I play on it. Or play on it for long periods of time with the 3D on.
I knew that the 3D could cause motion sickness, but FAINTING?!
Hey, guys. Quote me if you want me to respond. Otherwise I'll have no idea what the hell you want with me.

That is called orthostatic hypotension, also known as a head rush. The 3ds had absolutely nothing to do with it. I have fainted from them a couple times. It is just from a drop in blood pressure.

Pro tip, turn the 3D off when you're on drugs.
Crap, I've been doing it wrong the whole time?
