I probably know openings more than most under 2000 rating (still by no means an opening expert at all though; just happen to know opening stuff somehow lol), but define: "good games." I say that because it is just bullet they are talking about - not a series of classical time control games. In bullet (and even blitz), basically anything you know decent theory into is sometimes enough to get a "good game" (or at least playable). At the very least, you save time on the clock by navigating the opening faster and this is worth more in shorter time controls.

Also, just want to paraphrase something GM Magnus Carlsen said:

When you switch openings for surprise value, you don't have to necessarily change dramatically like a 1. e4 player switching to 1. d4. Just playing a less common variation from an opening you already know well might be enough to throw your opponent off a little.
