NW will block some exit row seats on particular aircraft and flights under their RoachChoice rules...meaning they are for a fee and available 24 hours before departure. (Fees are waived if you are any level of elite).
Sounds like that's what's happening to you. The good news is that RoachChoice seats are blocked for everyone until 24 hours so if you attempt to check-in online and both of you haven't been upgraded, the RoachChoice seats *should* still be available and you can grab them for free.
