From what I believe from developer's perspective, Christian Whitehead and his team may not have developer tools to port the game for NX (considering that they are indie developers, while Sonic Team may have better change to get plans for NX release as well ) I do agree with your thoughts about the Spring-relrease date as well. But to me really, this isn't that much of an issue, the game would or wouldn't be ported to NX afterwards. :P
